The IsNumeric call will not always return a correct answer. Try "1234+" - IsNumeric will return True. Then pass this same value as an argument to Convert.ToDouble: it will fail "unhandled exception". There's no option but to loop thru the String character by character and check that each one is within range. --[[User:LazyZee|LazyZee]] 17:59, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

The solution will not work correctly if the string contains "NA" (not a number). But NA can be used in numeric calculations. --[[User:Sigbert|Sigbert]] ([[User talk:Sigbert|talk]]) 13:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
